Abstract
- This paper considers the development, plant implementation and application of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and near infrared (NIR) analysis for reliable quantitative mineralogical ore profiling at several copper mines. This allows ore routing to be optimised, ore-type profiling improved, swelling clay identified so that permeability losses in heap leaching can be rectified, conveyor chute plugging prevented, flotation problems avoided and tailings thickening controlled.<br />This paper considers the development, plant implementation and application of X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and near infrared (NIR) analysis for reliable quantitative mineralogical ore profiling at several copper mines.
